Dang, I like that plane....Time to order one....
What is the build time??...I dont have alot of time for building(assembly), but can scrape together 15 hours no problem...
Also, I am thinking a Saito 91 or 100...I like fast high powered ...this looks to be the ticket..

CDingnition, the box claims 14-20 hours build time, but if you have any ARF experience at all you can shave that down easy. The manual is well organized and the steps are clear and concise. I formed the wing and ailerons all together in one night (~2 hours). Most of that time was spent oggling the beautiful parts and craftsmanship, and waiting for glue to dry. I can't wait to see this baby fly!
TerryPhillips, I never considered electric in a model of this size. I didn't even know they made electric motors that could move something this big.
I'll bet the noise level of it is almost nil. That would be sweet to see. 
Mettler1, thanks for the wheel pant tips, I will look into getting some parts like those.

P.S. A few pics of my OS61FX. The aluminum spinner will add a nice touch to this bird eh?
